⚠️ No longer actively maintained
Since there are now better alternatives with more features, I decided to no longer actively develop this script.
- For Home Assistant users, I recommend the integration by @fuatakgun: https://github.com/fuatakgun/eufy_security, which uses the library by @bropat
- Generic library with more features and active development by @bropat: https://github.com/bropat/eufy-security-client
- Small wrapper around this library, to access it via webscokets which can be used in many scenario's: https://github.com/bropat/eufy-security-ws
Eufy Home Assistant MQTT Bridge
This script subscribes to push notifications of the Eufy Security app and publishes events via MQTT to Home Assistant. When using auto discovery, it automatically creates a device with sensors within Home Assistant.
Uses the eufy-node-client by JanLoebel and is heavily inspired on its examples.
Create a second Eufy account!
At the moment it is not possible to use an account with 2FA enabled. You should not use the same account here and in the app, because when you log in at one app, sometimes you get logged out on other locations. I recommend creating a second account (with a strong random generated password and no 2FA) and invite it to your Eufy account.
When you receive "Failed to request" errors when starting this script, you have logged in too many times and are temporarily blocked. Wait a day and you'll be able to log in again.
Home Assistant Core vs Home Assistant Add-on
This repo describes running via Docker alongside Home Assistant Core. See below for an option to run it as an Add-on.
Supported devices
The following devices and features are supported. When a device of that type is detected, the sensors that are supported are automatically discovered in Home Assistant.
Motion detected | Person detected | Doorbell press | Crying detected | Sound detected | Pet detected | Thumbnail last event | Battery status | |

Also, the Door Sensor (T8900) is supported, this generates a separate sensor, based on door open/closed events.
All push messages from all devices are logged, click here to help with adding support for new devices or message types that aren't supported yet.
Setup
Configuration
In the data directory, you will need to create a config.yml
file with your credentials. You can copy this from
config.example.yml
. It should contain the following contents:
eufy:
username: "your@email"
password: "password"
mqtt:
url: "mqtt://dockerhost:1883"
username: "user"
password: "password"
keepalive: 60
home_assistant:
off_delay: 5
Only the Eufy username and password and MQTT url are required. Also MQTT username and password when set at the broker. The other options can be omitted, with the defaults shown above.
- MQTT keepalive: adjusts the keepalive interval for the MQTT connection. This is the maximum interval in seconds between messages to/from the MQTT broker. Set this higher when you encounter disconnects.
- Home Assistant
off_delay
: Sets the delay in seconds after which a motion/doorbell sensor is set back to "No motion" after motion is detected.
Data folder
The data folder contains the config, logs and a record of all push notifications (so new types of notifications can
be discovered). Mount this directory to a local folder. Replace /path/to/local/data/folder
in the Docker setups
below with the location where you want to store this data.
Connecting to MQTT
If you run your MQTT broker on the same host as this Docker image, it cannot simply connect to localhost
from inside
this Docker image. In that case, add a line to add the correct IP for the Docker network inside the image as
dockerhost
. You can then use mqtt://dockerhost:1883
as the MQTT url. Otherwise, you can remove that line from the
example below.
Run via Docker
Run the container, with a volume mapping to the local data directory, for example:
docker run \
-d \
--name eufy-bridge \
-v /path/to/local/data/folder:/app/data \
--add-host=dockerhost:`docker network inspect --format='{{range .IPAM.Config}}{{.Gateway}}{{end}}' bridge` \
matijse/eufy-ha-mqtt-bridge
Or add it to a Docker Compose file:
services:
eufy-bridge:
container_name: eufy-bridge
image: matijse/eufy-ha-mqtt-bridge
volumes:
- /path/to/local/data/folder:/app/data
If for some reason the connection with MQTT is lost, all sensors will be marked Unavailable in Home Assistant. So I recommend not auto-restarting the Docker image, but adding an automation to Home Assistant to notify yourself when a sensor is Unavailable. This prevents your account from getting blocked when the script keeps restarting due to a bug...
Run via npm
To run directly via npm:
- Clone this repository
- Create a
config.yml
file in thedata
folder, for contents see above. - Run
npm install
- Run
npm run start
ornpm run dev
to see debug output.
Run as Home Assistant Add-on
MaxWinterstein created a Home Assistant Add-on Repository containing an easy installable version of this bridge. See MaxWinterstein/homeassistant-addons for more information.
Manually adding sensors
When you have automatic discovery via MQTT disabled, you can add the binary sensors manually via YAML configuration:
Replace {device_sn}
by the serial number of the device, for example T8140P0123456789

payload_on: motion
payload_off: clear
off_delay: 5
Doorbell button pressed:
